The Dallas Cowboys<\/a> and kicker\u00a0Brandon Aubrey<\/a> have reached an agreement on a record contract extension, the organization announced Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The extension\u00a0for the former restricted free agent will be worth $28 million over four years, with $20 million guaranteed, two people familiar with the contract confirmed to\u00a0The Dallas Morning News. The amount makes Aubrey, who is now signed through 2030, \u00a0the highest-paid kicker in NFL history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aubrey, 31, is considered one of the top kickers in the NFL. He’s made the most field goals from 60 yards in league history and has made 88.2% of his field goal tries in his career.<\/p>\n

Last season, Aubrey made 85.7% of his field goal attempts and missed just six field goals overall (36 of 42). The only misses Aubrey had were from 50 or more yards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a Week 2 win over the New York Giants, Aubrey made a 64-yarder to end regulation and a 46-yarder as time expired in overtime. He became the first kicker in league history to accomplish both in the same game.<\/p>\n

During the season, it seemed Aubrey was in a race to set a NFL record for the longest field goal. The mark at that time was 66 yards. Jacksonville’s Cam Little set the record with a 68-yard field goal. The next day, Aubrey missed from 68 yards.<\/p>\n

On a Thursday night in Detroit, Aubrey made five field goals, becoming the first kicker in league history to convert three field goals of 55 or more yards.<\/p>\n

Before the 2025 season, Aubrey asked for a contract with a $10 million average but was rebuffed. So he went into the season knowing his future was uncertain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a solid season, which earned him his third Pro Bowl berth,\u00a0 Aubrey entered free agency as a restricted free agent.\u00a0Aubrey was placed on a second-round tender<\/a>, worth $5.7 million earlier this offseason. However, no NFL teams submitted an offer sheet to try and swipe him from Dallas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Houston kicker\u00a0Ka’imi Fairbairn had the highest average salary for a kicker at $6.5 million. This offseason, Fairbairn signed a two-year, $13 million contract extension.<\/p>\n
